According to the campaign finance reports released yesterday by the office of the Colorado Secretary of State, the direction of the Douglas County School Board races continues to reflect the recent trend — outside funders are supporting the current Board efforts to maintain control. In fact, two individuals who live outside of Douglas County have contributed 89% of all funds raised by the incumbent slate. In direct contrast, the independent slate backed by Douglas County Parents has received the vast majority of their contributions from local, Douglas County residents.
